About the book
The same person can learn one thing with little effort and find another a slog, and decades of driving or typing do not reliably make anyone much better at either. Scott Young sets out to explain why, arguing that improvement depends on three factors. The first is seeing, since most of what people know comes from others; the second is doing: mastery needs the right kind of practice, and brains are built to save effort; the third is feedback, the constant adjustment that progress requires. When all three are present progress is rapid, and when any is blocked improvement often becomes impossible. Drawing on research and examples from life, Young turns these into twelve maxims. He previously wrote Ultralearning.
Cal Newport, a longtime friend of Scott Young, called it a fantastic and approachable guide to improving at the things that matter, worth having on hand for anyone building a deeper life.

my longtime friend and collaborator Scott Young has a fantastic new title out this week called: Get Better at Anything: 12 Maxims for Mastery. I think Scott has written the ultimate (and approachable) guide to getting better at the stuff that matters. If you’re interested in engineering a deeper life, you need this book in your proverbial toolkit.
